Matters and Things That Are Talked

porting executive sessions III violation OF his

The Remedy for Strikes.

The determination of the different COM
panies and corporations in New York
city and vicinity to resist the demands
OF the strikers appears to be as firm as
ever. Some OF the steamship lines and
railroads seem to be dong very well
with inexperienced laborers, but Others
are having a great deal of trouble aud
their business is almost at standstnl.
II is noticeable that in the majority of
instances the strikers have no grievances
whatever, but have simply struck IN
obedience to the cali OF their labor or
carnations. The men who handle freight
for the BRltimore ard Ohio railroad, for
instance, said that they had no complaint
to make, and chat they were sorry to
cause the company trouble. They were
bound, however, to obey the call Of their
union.
1t will hardly be denied that employees
have a right to quit work whenever they
please, provided they are not bound by
any contract, but they nave no right to
combine to Obstruct the trade OF a great
city or a great section OF country in or
der to aid few OF their number to SET
tie 10 their salts action \ grievance they
may have with their employers.
This great strike at New York was be-
gun by few hundred coal handlers.
When they found they were not likely TO
be successful they at once undertook to
force compliance with their demands by
bringing abost general strike, and
thereby injuring not only companies, COR
poratiOns and individuals which have
never injured them nor wished TO lnjure
them, but also doing incalculable dam
age TO tens OF thousands OF workngmen
VINO were perfectly satisfied with their
employment and the wages they were get
aaE.
II certainly looks as IL there would
have TO De legislation of some kind which
viii mike strikes which Involve many

appears 70 be no way 10 prevent labor
troubles except by arbitration, and the
Arbitration must not be wholly voluntary.

be appointed either by the states or the
nation, and should be clothed with the
power to enforce their decisions.
Congress and State Legislatures hest.

The conviction is growing, however, that
they will have TO do it, and that while

Life of Lord Shaftesbury" about ms father
the sixth Earl, who was chairman of the
committees in the House of Lords for some
forty years. That nobleman was distinguished
for his fOndncss for port wlne-as rough and
as strong as il could be bOught-and it was a
question which was the largest consumer
himself, Lord Eldon or Lord Stowell. During
the session Lord don, then Chancellor, in
varlaOly dIDed IN his private room In the
House of Lords on mutton chops, and when
Lord Shaftesbury was on duty he always
joined him. LORD K dOn's regular allowance
at this meal was three pints of port, and W hen
Lord ShaftesDurv shared the meal with him
BOTTLES were substituted. The remarkable
fact was that when they returned to the
IL pu.e, after an absence OF three quarters of
an hour, nobody would have supposed that
either had tasted anything stronger than

Judge Reasan. OF Texas. has had a
very long political career. Those who
are acqlaji with bim, and know the
esteem iu which he is he'd in Texas,
were no. surprised at his election to the
Senate to succeed Senator NaXey. Sens-
tor Maxey Is also popular IN Texas, but

A New York paper, day or two ago,
stated that Judge Reagan would be
classed with the miliicnsires in the Sem
ate. That is q mistake. lie is not a rich
man. In fact, he has very little property.
In Washington he has always lived very
economically, and 1t is probable that he
has saved little OF his salary every year.
His home is at Palestine, small town
Of about 5000 Inhabitants. He has farm
there, hut it IS not productive one. 1t
is doubtful ifit has ever yielded any reve-
nue.. He has been in public life. with
short iutermssiors, for fOrty-eiQht years,
and he thinks that he is good for ten or
twelve years more Of public service. AL
though nearly 70 years of age he is very
strengthening man. He talks about a
reelection to the Senate, and it would not
be at all surprising if he were to complete
sixty years OF almost continuous public
service.
His first Office was that of Deputy Sur
veyor OF Public Lands. He then became
member of the Legislature, and in 1852
was elected District Judge. la 1857 he
was elected to Congress, and was a mem
Der of that body when the war occurred.
He was in the secession convention of his
State, and was Postmaster General OF the
Contederacy. he had a good de al to do
with State politics until 1874, when he
was elected to the lower house of Con-
gress, where he has been ever since. He
can hardly fail to make a good Senator.
